What's wrong?
The steering knuckle on the 2014 Tiffin Breeze is a heavy casting in the front steering and suspension assembly. It gives the wheel and steering arm a solid pivot point, and it has to hold that alignment while the motorhome turns, brakes, and carries weight.
On affected motorhomes, the knuckle casting was made with the wrong mineral content. The review found gray iron instead of ductile iron, which is the material needed for the part. That leaves the casting less able to handle steering loads. The steering arm section can fracture, breaking the solid connection the steering system depends on.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall identifies component date code 24D3 as the affected steering knuckle, while replacement parts use any date code except 24D3.

What's the safety risk?
A steering knuckle failure while the motorhome is being driven can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before failure, so schedule the recall inspection and repair soon and avoid extra driving until it is handled. Repair is free at any franchised Tiffin dealer.
